Notes
'Vertigo Deep Blue F1' torenia (Torenia fournieri 'Vertigo Deep Blue F1') is an annual for borders, containers, and shade gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. The flowers are a pale violet and dark purple bicolor. It stays compact, growing up to 12 inches tall, so it fits well at the front of a bed.
Pairs well with Limelight licorice plant, Wave Rose petunia, and American maidenhair fern.
